The powered parachutes can actually be quite dangerous. Typically their pilots are uneducated about flight and weather and don't understand density altitude. They are very susceptible to up/downdrafts and gusts. Many times people try to land them behind trees or other objects when the wind picks up. What happens when you take the wind out of a parachute?
